What is layout?

You DON’T setFrame: anymore
You DON’T setFrame: anymore You DECLARE a layout
You express relations between elements

Linear programming
Linear programming Solves equations with variables Looks for an objective
function
Auto Layout is a big objective function

Likes one solution scenarios Multiple solutions => ambiguous layout No

DON’T think in terms of frames
